Redux is a state management library that helps manage application state by centralizing it in a store. The key Redux components are the store, actions, and reducers. Actions describe state changes, reducers update the state, and the store holds the application data. Redux promotes predictable state updates and aids debugging through time-travel capabilities. It does not directly connect front-end and back-end but facilitates managing client-side state.

POST-LAB:
1. How does Redux help in managing the state of an application?

Redux helps manage the state of an application by centralizing the state data,
enforcing predictable state changes through actions, and facilitating time-travel
debugging. It promotes a structured and maintainable way to handle and update
application state.

2. List the key components of Redux and their roles?

Key components of Redux and their roles:

1. **Store:** Holds the application state and allows access to it.

2. **Actions:** Descriptive objects that trigger state changes.

3. **Reducers:** Functions that specify how the state changes in response to


actions.

4. **Middleware:** Provides a way to handle side effects like asynchronous


operations.

These components work together to centralize, control, and manage the


application's state.

3. What is the role of reducer and store in any e-commerce application.


In an e-commerce application:
1. **Reducer:** Manages specific parts of the application state, like the shopping
cart or product listings. It defines how the state changes in response to actions, such as
adding items to the cart or updating product information.
2. **Store:** Centralizes and holds the entire application state, including product
data, user information, and shopping cart content. It provides a single source of truth for the
application's data, ensuring consistency and easy access to the state across different
components.
4. What are the benefits of using Redux in terms of debugging and maintaining application
state?
The benefits of using Redux for debugging and maintaining application state:

1. **Time-Travel Debugging:** Redux enables developers to rewind and replay actions,


making it easier to trace and debug application state changes.

2. **Centralized State:** With a single source of truth, it's easier to locate and fix issues in
the application state.

3. **Predictable State Changes:** Actions and reducers provide a structured and


predictable way to modify the state, simplifying debugging and maintenance.

4. **Code Modularity:** Redux encourages separation of concerns, making it easier to


maintain and extend the application.

5.**Developer Tools:** Redux offers developer tools and middleware support for logging
and handling side effects, aiding in debugging and maintenance efforts.

5. How does Redux facilitate communication between the front-end and back-end of a
full-stackapplication?

Redux itself doesn't facilitate communication between the front-end and back-end.
However, it centralizes and manages the client-side state, making it easier for front-end
components to interact with the back-end through actions and middleware for API requests
and data synchronization.

IN LAB: -
Exercise 1: Create a simple frontend with two components for displaying the stocks of
TV and AC in an electronics goods shop. Create the necessary directory structure and files
for TV and AC components, actions, reducers, and store. Setup the Redux Store, Redux
Actions for Buying AC and TV, Create a separate reducer file for handling the stock of TVs
and ACs. Define the initial state for the reducer, including the initial stock values. Create a
reducer function that handles the different action types and updates the state accordingly.
In your React components of TV and AC, use the dispatch function to dispatch the
appropriate actions when performing operations on the stock of TVs and ACs.
Exercise 2: Set up a Node.js server using Express or any other preferred framework. Create
routes andhandlers for handling API requests related to the stock of TVs and ACs.

// server.js
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const port = 3000; // You can choose any port you prefer

// Sample data for TV and AC stock


const tvStock = 10;
const acStock = 5;

// Define routes and handlers for API requests


app.get('/api/tv-stock', (req, res) => {
res.json({ stock: tvStock });
});

app.get('/api/ac-stock', (req, res) => {


res.json({ stock: acStock });
});

// Start the server


app.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Server is running on port ${port}`);
});

Question 1: What are the factors considered to create store, reducer, and action
for any web application?

Key factors for creating store, reducer, and action in a web application:

1. **State Structure:** Define what data to store.


2. **Data Flow:** Establish a clear, one-way flow.
3. **Component Interaction:** Identify which components need access.
4. **State Mutability:** Choose state update methods.
5. **Actions:** Define descriptive triggers.
6. **Reducers:** Specify state change logic.
7. **Middleware:** Handle asynchronous tasks.
8. **Store:** Centralize state management.
9. **Debugging:** Enable debugging and tracing.
10. **Scalability:** Ensure scalability and performance.
11. **Testing:** Plan for effective testing.
12. **Data Sources:** Consider data origins.
13. **Application Architecture:** Align with app architecture.

Question 2: How can you implement redux container in full stack application?
To implement Redux containers in a full-stack application:

1. **Front-End Setup**:
- Install Redux and related packages.
- Create actions and reducers.
- Set up a Redux store.
- Connect components to the store using containers.

2. **Back-End Setup**:
- Design API endpoints.
- Implement data storage and logic on the server.

3. **Connecting Front-End and Back-End**:


- Make API requests from actions to interact with the back-end.

4. **Data Flow**:
- Dispatch actions to update the front-end state.
- Update the back-end via API requests when needed.

5. **Synchronize Front-End and Back-End**:


- Ensure data representations are consistent.

6. **Testing and Debugging**:


- Test actions, reducers, and components for proper data flow.
